Indian Cuisine is among the most varied and enjoyable of all ethnic foods because of terrain, climate and the infusion of people from may different religions into Indian-culture over thousands of years.
The taste that people savor in an Indian dish may range from the delicate to the hearty. the piquant to the fiery. Americans often think of most Indian cookery as being the latter category. However, it is the inclusion of one ingredient, chilies, which makes food "hot". By toning down the use of chilies, as well as some of the richer ingredients, Royal Taj Indian cuisine offers recipes that are gentler, but retain the flavor, aroma and texture for which Indian food is rightfully famous.
Royal Taj Indian Cuisine is pleased to present a wide selection of Indian Haute cuisine made from the finest and freshest ingredients. Our menu offers a welcome change from the ordinary that is not only pleasing to the palate, but a healthful alternative as well, owing largely to the use of a variety of vegetables and leaner meats. Royal Taj Indian cuisine offers delicious North Indian specialties seasoned according to your tastes - whether mild, moderate or hot. a great variety to which we invite yout to enjoy.
Frequent visits to Royal Taj Indian Cuisine and sampling different items on the menu will make you a connoisseur of exotic Indian Cuisine, especially the Northern Indian Food prepared by the people who know.
We hope your dining experience at Royal Taj Indian Cuisine will be an enjoyable one!

“Taj Out” is what we call it when we are near Beechmont craving Indian with an angry appetite that only a well stocked buffet can satisfy. Royal Taj will answer the call, they are up for the challenge of satisfying us regardless how hungry we may be.
This Royal buffet is chock full of choleys, kormas, tandooris, masalas, paneers, gobhis, jalfrezis, currys and of course nan breads and aromatic basmati rice. Carnivores and vegheads alike will like what they see when they come here to feed. The veggie dishes are so delicious, meat seems like a moot point. The whole spread is yours for $7.99 at lunch time.

Will work for Nan.
Sometimes people I know contemplate for an hour over what to get for dinner “what do you want” “I don’t care, what do you want” “I’m not sure how about pizza” “No I’m pizza-d out” “ Well how about chinese” “Too much MSG” “Well then you pick” “I just told you I don’t care” “Well you don’t want pizza or chinese so you do care” “ I don’t know there’s more than just pizza and chinese” “ I know so what do you want!” That conversation usually ends up with a fast drive to the drive thru (god forbid) or in my case some fast cooking before hunger pains set in and we go at each other like two wolves with one rabbit.
What’s strange is I never hear people say, “What do you want” “Oh I don’t know how about some Paneer Bhatura, a few Samosas and Shrimp Tandoori” Now that would shut me up.
Ordering Indian food can be overwhelming. Few other restaurants have such an expansive menu. For instance, Royal Taj has over 100 menu items. All those Aloos and Kormas can get complicated for most casual diners. I have a simple suggestion. Start with the bread!
Royal Taj’s menu has 18 different breads.
Nan is still the most popular. Soft and chewy, it’s perfect for dipping into whatever sauce is on the table and it’s even great by itself. What about Poori? It’s a fried bread that puffs up like a balloon, it’s flavor is sweet and almost dessert like. How about Roti? It’s a whole wheat bread or Partha a layered whole wheat bread? They all sound similar but there very different and very delicious. Nan comes in the most varieties; onion, garlic stuffed, chicken stuffed, lamb stuffed (Keema), potato stuffed (Aloo), cheese stuffed (Paneer), mint (Pudina), chilies and peppers (Hot & Spicy) it’s almost like ordering pizza.
The real trick is they way it’s cooked! Fresh made dough is slapped on the side of a huge clay oven. The oven is heated with a charcoal grill in the bottom. The bread takes on the flavors of the oven, grill and the toppings. It’s a beautiful thing. You really need to try them all and they’re all inexpensive ($2-$3 per order).
I can’t imagine making these at home and store bought Nan tastes, well like store bought pizza.
